Burnaby RCMP is looking for information after a young man was shot outside a restaurant just after 1 a.m.Friday.

The 23-year-old, who is known to police, was hit in the leg several times and is now in hospital in serious condition.

Staff Sgt. Major John Buis said gunfire broke out within a group of 10 people standing on the patio of the restaurant in the 7600-block of Edmonds Street in south east Burnaby.

“No one else was struck by the bullets fired. A group of males, believed to have been in the original group of ten, were noted running away from the restaurant south on Edmonds Street towards Kingsway,” he said.

“Burnaby RCMP do not believe that this was a random act.”

Buis said investigators talked to a few of the people in the group who were “less than cooperative.”
The victim is also not cooperating with police he said.

Police don’t yet know if the shooting is gang-linked, but are looking at that possibility, Buis said.

There are no descriptions so far.

“We’re asking anyone with information regarding this offence to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922, their local police or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477,” he said.
